for 93-94 you need a small connector for the two hoses, that is the only difference.

Yup, just grab a double-male brass fitting and go to town.
(Yes, it sounds dirty and I don't care )

the size should be 3/8" for the fuel line/whatever fitting you chose to use and the same size for caps for the open tb hose outlets.

You don't need to cap the TB off, as Marc mentioned. Reason? Well there is nothing flowing through it now. Only reason to do it is for cosmetic reasons. Of you could do liek the guy I originally bought my TB from: Take a bandsaw to the IAC/Coolant bottom plate, and simply cut off the whole coolant passage part Twas a very slick idea!
